Senators with the wobblies on amnesty

Ace at Ace of Spades has a great post: ~~~~~~~~~

The Tally: We Still Need Eight Of Twelve Wobblers To Block This Piece of Shit—Ace Mark Krikorian rounds 'em up, using the slogan I've pushed myself, "A Yes On Cloture Is A Yes On Amnesty." Here are the wobblers. We need two thirds of them. That's not easy. As many of them actually believe they think they can get away with the for-cloture-against-the-bill-itself sham, it would be helpful if they were informed of no uncertain terms that we all understand what yes on cloture means. It means yes on amnesty. That simple. And we will hang that around their necks until they're hounded out of office. Bond (R-Mo.), Bingaman (D-N.M.), Burr (R-N.C.), Boxer (D-Calif.), Cochran (R-Miss.), Conrad (D-N.D.), Ensign (R-Nev.), Levin (D-Mich.), Gregg (R-N.H.), Nelson (D-Neb.), Hatch (R-Utah), Webb (D-Va.) Don't ignore the Democrats-- they're more afraid of this bill than Republicans, who seem to subscribe to the WaPo's characterization of us as "uneducated" and "easily led." Definitely don't ignore Burr, Hatch, and Cochran. What the hell are these idiots thinking? Do they think they're indespensible men in the Senate? Contact information: Here.... If you haven't yet contacted your Senators -- or Senators who aren't really your own -- do so. Grassroots agitation really has borne fruit -- once pro-amnesty Senators have been whipsawed into alignment with public sentiment. They need to be abused of the notion that while polls show great opposition to this bill, most opponents don't really care that strongly aobut it and thus they can get away with rebuking their constitutents' desires. I'm told they really do respond to letters and phone calls -- not respond individually, by and large, but they definitely get the message when enough citizens are agitated enough to give up their usual apathy to weigh in. ~~~~~~~

The Senators do respond to phone calls and e-mails - it is a numbers thing. Also, one never knows when the pull of a run for the presidency will be just too great and then like John McCain, you have to live with the legacy of "Campaign Finance Reform" - unconstitutional by any definition regardless of what the Men in Black Robes say; and the Amnesty Bill of 2007. Senator Lindsey "I haven't seen a smoke-filled backroom I haven't liked for grand bargaining" Graham (R -S.C.) is going to have a rough time in his 2008 re-election bid. Many of us, not his constituents either, are going after him for his double-dealing with the likes of Teddy Kennedy, see Where's the fence: S. 1348 screws the pooch. I believe the bill has been renumbered as S. 1639???? and now is 1,000 pages of garbage instead of the less complex 800 page S. 1348. Another entry posted here is Senate "behind closed doors" grand bargainers. This post addresses the "grand bargainers" who we have to put on our list of "don't re-elect" if they support the Amnesty Rewards Program.
